    Near-future quarterly financial projections

    Didn't Elon say they were going to stop surge deliveries (shipping) in (to) Europe?

    Towel inside the car??

    Or maybe they are there to absorb moisture drips or runs that might otherwise damage something. At the very least they contribute a small amount to acoustic control. I suggest you disconnect your seat heaters if you are so worried about fire hazards.

    How does Tesla continue to sell Model S for 40-50K more than 3.?

    How much more is it worth to have a car that won't rust?

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    If Elon beats this, will this help to put an end to all of the other class action suits against Tesla? If so, this could be a good thing.

    MS Facelift ETA?

    The Model S had a face lift to bring it in line with the new looks of the Model X. So...maybe the exterior will be updated to match the Roadster or Model Y once they are in production.

    Would it be dumb to NOT install a charger at my house? (Dallas)

    A standard 120v wall outlet will most likely be more than adequate for your usual commute. Many people enjoy their new car so much that they look for excuses to go drive it. This of course requires more charging time and also means that you are away from charging while driving more. It takes...

    Model 3 "Performance Brake Calipers" just red or different altogether?

    My Jan 2013 P85 maxs out at 132mph.:cool: And it has black calipers! The alloy pedals and carbon fiber trim do make it feel faster thou!:D

    Beginnings of a trade war between Canada and the USA. Affects on Tesla?

    Hunker down until the next U.S. president comes along. Trump is doing his best to dismantle and reassemble anything his predecessors have done so that he can put his name on the new laws. Maybe y'all can mix some steel and aluminum in with the tar sands oil being pipelined in?:D

    Beginnings of a trade war between Canada and the USA. Affects on Tesla?

    The security perspective is touted as such that if America can't keep an economically viable domestic supply of iron & aluminum, then it could become in trouble if foreign sources became unavailable. Perhaps more so, it's just Trump's attempt to fulfill one of his campaign promises to bring...

    Saturated sound GPS voice-Bad front speaker sound

    The GPS direction volume is separate from the normal listening level. Adjust the volume down with the thumb wheel while the GPS is speaking. You may need to turn the regular level up from 1 afterwords. If music sounds proper thru all of the speakers, then nothing is wrong with the speakers...

    It will be one more Tesla product that we can't buy directly here in Texas.:mad:

    Your Tesla's value just dropped about 4-5k overnight

    As posters have said, some have little use for significantly faster MCU response. I don't know what it costs to have a custom designed MCU, but I would expect that the contract specified a cost for a given number of units, or for a given amount of time. Just because AMD, Intel, or whomever...

    Dropping $973.36 for a new charge port tomorrow.

    Just an after thought, might be too much of some kind of safety issue, but perhaps a call to Tesla and they could overide the error code "over the air". I can see clearly now, I've got my beer goggles on!

    Dropping $973.36 for a new charge port tomorrow.

    Not sure at what mileage, but somewhere along the way... Fuel pump. What ever type of ignition control module it has. Timing belt. Starter. Water pump. What did I miss?

    Dropping $973.36 for a new charge port tomorrow.

    For better or worse, there are a number of known common repairs for the early years. Many people are lucky enough to have them fail during warranty periods. My 2013 with 51,500 miles charge port started reading open even when closed just before my warranty ran out. Luckily a warranty repair...

    Elon Fails Again.... Model 3

    And the infotainment system is still lacking. If the premium interior doesn't include the buttershrimp channel on the radio, then I'm definitely gonna cancel my order.

    Is it time for Tesla to move towards active suspension?

    Entirely uneducated on the subject, but I think the relatively heavy weight of the Teslas is a large part of the stiff suspension.

    Found the roadster in Malibu!...oh and it was BROKEN

    Let the speculation begin. I'm guessing some sort of total electrical failure that would require him to physically press the brake to keep the car from rolling, hence the wheel chocks. Who's next?

    Request to borrow vehicle for a demo at an elementary school in Orlando area

    There's probably a Tesla owners facebook group in the Orlando area that you could reach out to. I would hope there would be several that wouldn't mind demoing their car for the future of this nation.
